[Tigers] Brake Light Switch

[Donald Antilla]

Same experience on my Series 200 Griffith.

I checked the hydraulic switch immediately after installing.

It was functional

A week later it failed so I adapted a bracket from some old Toyota that was available and installed a GM mechanical brake plunger switch. I hid it all inside my pedal box. 

It works reliably.

I went through way too many of the switches.  I've ALWAYS used LMA.  Never varied.  I even tried the most expensive, named brand switches.  They all ultimately failed.   So I made my own bracket and bought a mechanical switch at Pep Boys.  Works like a charm, every time, all the time.  

 

I will say though that rather than cut into the wires, I just extended the stock wires from the stock switch back into the car at my mechanical switch.
